The invention relates to a method of lining the waist band of trousersand similar garments, and to such a lining which has the appearance ofhand work but is produced 5 by machine.

An allied improvement is disclosed in the applicants' co-pendingapplication No. 723,825, filed July 2nd, 1924 and of which thisapplication is a continuation in part.

In accordance with the invention I first stitch the waist band liningstrip, forming a lineof stitching which is spaced a suitable distancefrom the edge, the line of stitching including stitches extendintransversely to the direction of the line 0 stitching. A type ofstitching adapted to the purpose of the present invention is thehemstitch and the stitching operation referred to has been, in thepractice of the presentinvention, most generally means of a hemstitchingmachine. The edge of the binding or lining material thus stitched, orpreferably hemstitched, is then laid against the cloth of which thegarment 35 is composed and the lining material is sewed to the cloth b aline of stitching which follows closely t e line of hemstitching orsimilar stitch referred to. The second line of stitching beingpreferably in the center of the hemstitching and extending through andthrou h the material along what ma be terme the center line of thehemsti ing. The lining is then turned over on the line of stitching,placing it inside the garment at the to and pressed in position. Thestitching y which the lining or binding is secured to the ment and allthe other necessary sewing in this connection is easily and convenientlyand quickly accomplished by machine, and the top edge of thebindperformed by ing as thus finished and sewed to the garment, has, dueto the presence of the hemstitchin the a pearance of elaborate carefulhan work, being at the same time produced at an incomparably lessexpense of time and money than that at which it could be produced byhand.

In the accompanying drawing I have illustrated a waist binding made inaccordance with my method and embodying the features of the article ofmy invention in the preferred form.

In the drawing:

Figure 1 is a fragmentary inside view of a portion of a trousers garmenttaken at the waist line and showing the waist band, the overlying piecesof material being cut away in such a manner as to expose the underlyingpieces of material and to show their arrangement.

Figure 2 is a somewhat similar view on an enlarged scale showing asmaller fragment of a garment, the'ma'terial being sectioned at therighthand side of the view to illustrate the arrangement thereof alittle more clearly than in Figure 1. 1

Figure 3 is a similar fragment of the garment in perspective and in thecourse of construction, showing the lining when first sewed to the top ee of the cloth composing the garment and before it is turned over to theinside, that is, the binding is lying on the outside of the garment.

Figure 4 shows a similar fragment at a slightly later period in theproduction of the garment, the lining material and the cloth emg spreadapart in the course of turning the inding over from the outside towardthe inside of the garment. Figure 5 is a perspective view of a pair oftrousers top lined in accordance with the invention.

Figure 6 is a plan view of a binding band in accordance with theinvention, hemstitched and ready to be sewed to the garment along theline of the hemstitching as afiresaid.7

igure is a. rs ctive view of a fra ment of waist showing the metho dapplied to alining of a single thickness without stifiening orreinforce, the stiflening and reinforcing members bein removed to giveadditional clearness of il ustration.

In order that the method and article of the invention may be clearlyunderstood, one of the various waist band constructions which may bemade in, accordance with the invention will be described.

In the drawings the'cloth of which the garment is-made is the darklyshaded por- 100 4, and have then sewed a piece of twilled fabric 5forming the lining material, to the opposite edge of the canvas by aseam 6, the binding or lining material be ng sewed near its ed e to oneside of the canvas near one edge iy said seam 6, and'the tape beingsewed along its edge to the other side of the canvas along the oppositeedge thereof by the seam 4. Thelining material which is wider than thecanvas is then turned under the edge of the canvas near which it issewed by the seam 6 and folded back until its opposite ed e is under thetape 2.

The tape and the lining material are then hemstitched together orotherwise stitched with a line of machine stitching comprising stitchesextending transversely to the direction of the line of stitching. Thisisaccomlished by passing the binding through a emstitclnng machine, orother machine to produce the stitching described; This line of stitchingis indicated by reference character 7, the object being to so stitch thelining as to produce a hand made efiect by the method described. Thelining is then laid on the outside of the garment alon the to edge withthe hemstitching or similar stitching on the line which is intended toform the exact top edge of the lining and sewed at 9 through thehemstitching. The lining and the top edge of the cloth with it are thenturned over inside the garment where it ma be again sewed by stitching 8and presse or ressed without sewing in such a manner tint thehemstitching as aforesaid comes just inside the top edge of the garment.

\Vhile I have described in detail a preferred form of lining, I wouldhave it understood-that the stifl'enin i. e., the canvas and the tapeand other etails are more or less incidental and immaterial, theimportant feature of the invention being, as aforesaid, the manner oflining or top lining the garment b hemstitching the waistband linin inthe direction of -the length of the edgeiine or waist line and sewingthe lining to the garment along the line of the hemstitching and nearthe edge of the cloth so that when the lining is turned against theinside of the garment material or cloth, the hemstitching comes at theedge of the lining.

Broadly defined, the lining method referred to consists in stitching astri of lining material in a longitudinal irection forming a line ofstitching with stitches extending transversely to said line ofstitching. or hemstitching it in the direction of its length, then sewinthe lining to the cloth of the garment a ng the edge of the cloth andalong the first mentioned line of stitchi i. e., the hemstitching or thelike and fo iding the lining material over on the sisting of liningsecond line of stitching so that the first mentioned line of stitchingappears at the top edge of the lining.

While the method of my invention, as thus described, is based on theillustration contained in Figures 1 to 6, it is best illustrated fold inthe lining being on the line ofstitching.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure byLetters Patent is:

1. The method of lining the waist band of a trousers garment whichconsists in hemstitchinga piece of lining material, sewing the linin tothe cloth along the edge of the cloth and and folding the material overon the line of the hemstitching so that the hemstitching forms the edgeof the lining.

2. In a garment a lining which comprises apiece of lining materialhenistitched and sewed to the garment, through and on the line of thehemstitching and turned over {against the inside of the garment on saidan edge and sewed to the cloth forming the garment near the top edgethereof and through and on the line of said hemstitching, the edges ofthe lining and the edge of the cloth forming the garment being turned inbetween the cloth and the lining.

4. A lining for trousers garments comprising a piece of lining material,a piece of tape extending around the waist line, a line of hemstitchingconnecting the tape to the lining material, a seam sewed through thelining and tape, and through the hemstitching, connecting the lining andtape to the cloth forming the garment near the top edge thereof, thelining thus constructed and the top edge of the cloth being turned overinside the garment on the line of the hem-- stitching.

5. In a garment, a lining which comprises a piece of lining material, aline of stitching extending along said lining materialand includingstitches extending transversely to the direction of the line ofstitching, and a second line of stitching, the lining being sewed to thegarment by saidsecond line of stitching through andbnthe line of said 3.In a garment at waist band lining conmaterial hemstitched along alongthe line of the hemstitching,

first line of stitching and turned over against the inside of thegarment on said second line of stitching.

6. In a garment, a waist-band lining consisting of lining materialstitched in a line along an edge, said line including stitches 7. Themethod of lining the waist band of a garment which conslsts in stitchinga piece of lining material, forming a line of stitching with stitchesextending transversely to said line of stitching, then sewing the liningto the 010th of the garment along the edge of the cloth, forming asecond line of stitching along the first mentioned line of stitching,and folding the lining material over on the second line of stitching sothat the first mentioned line of stitching appears at the top edge ofthe lining.
